Symantec's defection represents the collapse of the united front of paid security software.

The united front of paid security software is itself a loose alliance. Everyone is united because of interests, and now they are scattered because of interests.

Tom Security is the ultimate winner, and the freeware is the ultimate winner.

Symantec defected, and the only big one left was Kaspersky.

Faced with a choice, Kaspersky did not choose the route of free software like Symantec. Instead, they moved on to another area – serving the enterprise.

Compared with individual users, enterprises are more concerned about security, and they are more aware of security, and they are less likely to use free security software.

At least this thing has an ad on it, and it doesn't look formal at all.

Therefore, Kaspersky's transformation can be regarded as a success.

The paid, as well as the no-nonsense interface, stands for security in itself.

Of course, they will still do the business of personal paid security software, but in the foreseeable future, this market will continue to shrink, but they don't care.

The security software that has completed the adjustment of their respective directions seems to have quieted down all of a sudden, and the viruses on the entire Internet seem to have disappeared in an instant.

Many people who were still applauding security software have a new idea at this moment, and they are beginning to think that it is precisely because of the benefit chain of paid software that there are so many viruses?

There is nothing wrong with their imagination, of course, but there is evidence for it.

At this time, suddenly a piece of news broke out.

The content of the news is an internal Symantec email communication log. It discloses the plans for each phase of the virus attack, as well as a description of what to do to destroy the free security software.

That's right, that's exactly what Tom is safe to do.

Fatal with one hit.

Tom Safety, who was tired of coping with it before, will not let Symantec go because of Symantec's transformation.

The market for free security software is large, but there is no need to accommodate a competitor, right?

This lore was just a prelude, and the stone hammer that followed came as quickly as hail.

Symantec, which had no funds and was still in the transition period, was immediately hammered full of bags.

Because of the lack of budget, they don't even have the budget to launder it.

Therefore, they can only bear in silence.

And many middle and senior executives who have been fired before have also begun to express their views on these things in public, revealing all kinds of things that Symantec has done.

The former middle and high-level appeared to say that this is more of a stone hammer than the previous stone hammer.

Why do these people show up? Of course, it's because of money.

Tom safely awaited one such opportunity. And Symantec's board of directors actually fired these people very ridiculously, making a division of interests.

People who were once in the same trenches, working together for the same interests. Originally, after being expelled, it can already be said that he turned against each other.

Plus they can get a share of the money, so why wouldn't they do it?

The foundation of security software is to make people feel safe and give people a sense of security.

However, a senior Symantec executive broke the news that Symantec not only infects viruses in users' computers, but also detonates them from time to time, and then kills them as soon as possible to "prove that they have strong anti-virus capabilities".

It also steals the user's privacy and transports the user's various data to its own server.

Arguably, Symantec's security software is the biggest virus.

All of a sudden, all the users were furious.

Everyone uninstalled Symantec one after another, and based on the content of the revelations, a lawyer's organization began to file a lawsuit against Symantec.

In a short period of time, Symantec has faced thousands of lawsuits.

Symantec doesn't even have the money to fight the lawsuit, not to mention compensation.

The stock price has fallen to the brink of collapse.

Everything is going in the worst direction.

The shareholders panicked and wanted to wash the floor for Symantec, at least not sink the ship until they escaped.

But no one gave them that chance.

On April 5, Symantec was delisted.

On April 23, Symantec filed for bankruptcy and entered bankruptcy liquidation.

The collapse of Symantec represents the end of this security software war.

On May 1, Wanhu held a high-profile press conference, announcing that Wanhu Security will launch security software that can be embedded with Wanhu operating system, which is small in size, high in efficiency and occupies less resources.

Not only that, but there is also a compatible version of the software that can be installed on both Windows and Apple.

In addition, this security software also provides a series of services.

For example, for the root cause of computer lag, computer debris and junk cleaning.

For example, it can provide users with one-stop software download services, and all software on the shelves will be confirmed by Wanhu Security, so as to avoid users from downloading some fake software and being infringed.

The most important thing is that this software will provide anti-cheating support and property protection support for all games on the Wanhu Battle Platform.

The virtual property in StarCraft of 10,000 households, the highest unit price of rare items is now more than a thousand dollars. Not even a computer has a string of code that is worth anything.

Wanhu's combination punch has also attracted a lot of attention on the Internet.

The biggest reaction was none other than Microsoft.

Because they can clearly see that Wanhu Security is to monopolize the distribution channels of software.

To put it nicely, all software will be audited by Wanhu Security, and it can only be put on the shelves if it is safe.

Then it is necessary for Wanhu Security to define what security is.

Moreover, the order of similar software, in what order, will also affect the choice of players.

If you really adapt all the way to this, you can find that Wanhu has actually mastered the life and death of software manufacturers in this process.

With such a big right, Microsoft also wants it!

As a result, Microsoft also started the program of a software store.

Even the next-generation network operating system under development is starting to join the built-in software store.

At the same time, Electronic Arts has started to use old games to transform and develop new free-to-play online games.

Players on a PC can start playing without spending a penny!

However, the free-to-play online game didn't show the trend of crazy downloads that Tripp had expected.

But......

Players are like kittens, with only two or three.

The reason for this is that it is free, but players still can't accept a free game that costs money without two clicks into the game.

What's more, it's not a brand new game, it's a fool, and you can see that it's a money scam by Electronic Arts.

There is not a shred of sincerity!
